Eskridge, maybe a decent draft pick after all?

I agree with you Pitt. Center should have been a much higher priority. But what we want is kind of irrelevant. Though it sure gets frustrating to see them pass up needs for something "different" so often.
I stick to my opinion that Eskridge is going to be a damn good player on this team.

Eskridge reminds me of another WR that we took at almost the same spot in the draft: Paul Richardson, a slight built, lightning fast WR that we took in 2014 with our 2nd round, #45 overall selection. Hopefully we get better results with Eskridge.

To me it looks like Eskridge is more compact and more sturdily built than Paul Richardson. At least I'm hoping so on the sturdy part. Richardson is listed as 6'0 even, while Eskridge, IIRC, is 5'8. Richardson just didn't seem to have a body that could withstand the NFL pounding.
